I kind of agree, and I really liked Zero Dawn. Waiting to play Forbidden West next year. If it looks as good Forbidden West it might be worth taking a look, but I can’t imagine grinding away in that game for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Unless it's something different from what we currently know as MMOs, I doubt I'll be interested, even as someone who really enjoys the Horizon games. When I think about what I enjoy from those games, not much would translate to an MMO. Besides, what was the last successful MMO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that Elder Scrolls Online is still doing quite well. And I guess WoW is still kicking. Other than that though the focus has pretty much shifted to service games.

So we're a nearly a decade out from the last launch of a successful MMO? The only big MMO release in recent memory is New World, and that wasn't exactly a blockbuster after the first week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 New World was fairly well received and came out 2021 @TwinIon Oh dang you said it. How about Lost Ark from 2022? Also Black Desert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Destiny 2 is often tagged as an MMO and that came out in 2019. The American release of Lost Ark came out last year, almost 2 years ago, and is most definitely successful in terms of how much money they made. And saying FF14 came out in 2010 is technically true, but that game doesn't exist anymore and we only have FFXIV: ARR which was like 2013. Still 10 years so yeah, but I do not consider the game I play to have been released in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
